From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

What Linux "Productivity" (ideally FOSS) tools do you use? (lemmy.ml)

I'm in a bit of a productivity rut and whilst I suspect the issue is mainly between the keyboard and chair I'm also interested in what (FOSS) tools there are that people find effective.

One of my issues at the moment is cross managing different workstreams particularly with personal projects which are more in the "if I have time category".

I'm interested in anything that helps manage time or limit distractions or anything that makes it easier to keep track of progress/next steps for project when there may be a bit of a time gap between.

I'm with you on obsidian. Logseq comes close, but the app falls a bit short for me as of yet.

I haven't tried Obsidian, but I use Logseq all the time. What do you think is holding Logseq back? I'm just curious.

I know for me the mobile app lacks some polish and it lacks plugins, which is annoying.

Plugin support is a huge thing, obsidian does this so good. Also, tags are pretty cool, not sure if logseq has them. Do I remember correctly that Logseq does not store your stuff in a pure mix of markdown and directories, or was that another App?

Logseq has tags. Logseq does store data in markdown files. There's one file for each page.

Are you perhaps thinking about Anytype?

Honestly, I just found the android app incredibly clunky and annoying to navigate. I'm hoping it'll improve with time, because I would like to move to a FOSS solution.
